    The Russell Wilson comparison is very fair

    1. Bridgewater's height will allow him to no get flushed from the pocket as quickly
    2. Bridgewater was a more polished qb coming out of school

    A better, taller DangeRuss?????

    But if we pair Watt with a dude who got 3 sacks against inferior competition we should DOMINATE!!! #clown3yfanaticlogic

    His height is what hurts him more the most, if he was 6'3 -6'4 he could avoid from being flushed from the pocket and could see his throwing lanes a lot easier

    If he was 4-5 inches taller he would have been chosen behind Luck

    I see this a lot with Wilson. He rolls out and misses open receivers and when you see the replay, you can tell he just couldn't see them.

    But he uses his mobility to create his throwing lanes. If the coach and system works with him, the liability is limited. Wilson at 6'3"-4" would be sick.

    If Bridgewater is indeed a taller Wilson, we need to get him, no questions asked.

    If they draft Bridgewater I hope for a hellofa lot more than Wilson... We do not have Seattle's defense, or their running back, or a Percy Harvin. They take a QB #1 he better be able to do a lot more.

    I don't consider 137 all purpose yards and a TD a limited role.

    Nope, didn't miss a thing. S.O.S... And "IF" they draft Teddy _ I hope he's the super star savior quarterback you guys proclaim him to be.

    all those yards came on 3 plays, a return and 2 carries.. so tell me again how a star WR that was targeted once wasnt in a limited role, playing in his 3rd game of the season.

    He had more rushing yards than Lynch and opening up the 2nd half with a return TD was another nail in the coffin. And so what if the yards came on only limited touches... You're arguing about the process with no regards for the results.

    And Denver's defense was petrified of Harvin's speed. Notice how Russell had his best game in the playoffs with Harvin on the field... He takes the top off the defense and demands attention. I think the super bowl was a glimpse of Seattle's offense next year which should be dangerous.

    But you don't have to act like Russell won that game by himself to make the case for drafting Teddy because at the end of the day it's a TEAM sport and Seattle's team is totally different from ours.

    Bridgewater is more polished and taller than Wilson

    and our receiving corps is much better than Seattles...

    he played in a limited role and youre trying to deny it because he produced in his limited role. he played less than half the snaps and was involved in 3 plays offensively.. he carried the ball twice and had a reception... thats it, 3 plays, regardless of his production, he was involved in 3 offensive plays. he was in a limited role for the seahawks period. doesnt mean he didnt produce... you made it a point to argue that the texans didnt have a percy harvin, when wilson didnt have the guy all season either. he didnt have harvin in the toughest game of the year against san francisco..

    I also made it a point that the Texans didn't have Seattle's defense and Seattle's running back either. You just made it a point to concentrate on Harvin. And you're in the minority with the belief Harvin had a limited role in the super bowl _ but ok...

    you're missing the point (par for the course)...

    offensively he had 2 end arounds for 45 yards, and a 5 yard catch.. OHHH BOY!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    ST has nothing to do with what he did offensively.

    You can't disregard the impact that his presence on the field had as well. Once he established that he was a threat offensively with the first end-around, I'm sure the Broncos directed some attention to stopping him. I think the Seahawks would have one regardless but it would have been a closer game without him.

    So are you saying special teams isn't important...??? I'm not surprised that some of us Texans fans would think that. Lol... And I originally stated Harvin had 137 all purpose yards and one TD.

    And if you think Harvin's presence on the field had no effect on Denver's defense _ I can't argue that opinion.
